Then he said something like... and the government shouldn't tell businesses where to build a factory.

I have heard a lot of republicans say the stuff he said. If that's his highest moment in the debate, I am kind of shocked. He didn't say anything new or groundbreaking. That was nothing but talking points. I didn't hear a policy proposal or a solution to anything.

I also disagree with him that company's should be allowed to build factories where ever they want, no, they shouldn't be allowed to build factories in some places. They shouldn't be allowed to build factories near nature reserves and natural parks, or in communities and destroy that community's natural resources with pollution.. Call me a hippie or whatever, I don't give a ****. But my sister is a lawyer and she's told me about companies polluting communities and giving the people cancer, and then playing stupid about the health risks they exposed innocent people and families to. That isn't right. Cain is probably an unlikely candidate to have that ever happen to him though, because when politicians pretend like they don't care about the safety of the others, they still care about themselves. I can't believe people clapped when he said that, what a bunch a suckers.

How could someone get it so wrong?
you completely mis-quoted and over-exaggerated the viewpoints

he didnt say he wanted businesses to just build factories just anywhere! or did he say government never created a job. He also didnt say the government should get out of the free market, but said there is currently "too much government intervention" instead of just the right amount.

Liberals are trying way to hard.. you think they would be better at argueing against Cain, but to his credit he just speaks the facts... hard to debate against the facts

Palin doesn't have any creditably for Energy Sectary. "Drill Baby Drill" isn't sustainable. You do know that right? All it does is prolong the inevitable, while depleting emergency reserves.

Oh and Palin and Bachumann aren't real conservatives. Cain, maybe. But the only real conservative I've seen with a high profile is Ron Paul.

Is THE ENTIRE STATE of South Carolina a "national park"?

Then try to state a valid argument opposing Boing's plan to bring jobs to South Carolina.

Statist = government control. Social conservatice = the bible is the best policy. Statist Social conservative = fu*k your civil liberties. I assume both are anti-Union in the sense they think Unions shouldn't exist. Well, that would go against the founding fathers thinking.
